The aim of the article is to determine the specifics of the relationship between the components of emotional intelligence (EI) and the emotional dependency (ED) reactions in student age. The MSCEIT (The Mayer–Salovey–Caruzo Emotional Intelligence Test) and R. Hirshfield’s Interpersonal Dependence Test were used to achieve the aim and objectives of the study. The article analyses the dynamics and correlation of indicators for educational courses at the bachelor’s level of higher education institutions (HEIs). The prevalence of the medium indicators of the levels of EI and manifestations of ED was found during the studied period. A significant increase in EI indicators was determined between the second and third years of study. A gradual decrease in the ED reaction before the completion of studies in HEIs was recorded. Significant correlations of the ED parameters with the conscious management of emotions, the ability to understand and identify experiences were calculated. Most often, the connections between the EI components were established to manifested with the level of self-confidence. It can be stated that high EI indicators determine a decrease in EI. The research prospects may be the development and verification of the effectiveness of programmes for EI development at student age.
